Hi and Good luck with you business. There is a huge amount of information on
the electronic cigarette market which is booming at the moment but would
caution anyone starting a business solely based on selling e-cigarettes to
look at all the regulations currently out there and future regulations coming
down the road if they get classied as NRT.

Any financial forecast is only as good as the assumptions used. My suggestion
would be to use a scenario based approach for any financial projections. By
creating Likely, Moderate and Aggressive scenarios you can range bound the
outcomes for the business and come up with several possible forecasts .

Forecasting for a startup is not as difficult as it sounds. Start with the
assumptions and build the remaining reports from that. I have added templates
to the business plan tutorial below (free) as well as instructions to build
the financial statements from scratch. Look for the financial statements
page.

I would do my due diligence for sure. Unless you are making your own then most of them on the market are the same. They all come from china and legislation is still being worked out. For now become an affiliate, but I would wait till the laws are more clear before I put my money into starting a company.

You may want to spend some time on the internet researching the market. In
particular look for publications and articles in newspapers and industry
magazines. You would be surprised by the amount of information you can find
in a well researched article.
